HONG Kong's Financial Secretary, Paul Chan, has stressed that the city needs to position itself as an international centre for finance, shipping and trade as well as a prominent talent hub under plans laid out at China's third plenum.
Writing in his weekly blog on Sunday, Mr Chan said that Hong Kong's strategic position as 'three centres and one hub' was clearly stated in a resolution endorsed by the Communist Party's 20th Central Committee, and fulfilling that role was something the city 'must do well in the future'.
He said the city must accelerate the growth of the high value-added maritime services cluster to enhance its competitiveness in the long run, while also developing Hong Kong into a multinational supply chain management centre to support the mainland enterprises investing overseas.
The financial chief also stressed that Hong Kong has to turn itself into an international hub for high-calibre talent and strengthen its work in developing new, quality, productive forces.
Mr Chan said Hong Kong has received over 340,000 applications under various talent admission schemes since the end of 2022, with about 210,000 applications approved.
He stated that Hong Kong has to embrace changes amid the complex and volatile external political and economic environment to overcome difficulties and challenges in its development, reports Hong Kong's Standard.
